;<span id="bsddb">BSDDB</span>: (''[[Database_Backends|database backend]]'') The [http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/berkeley-db/overview/index.html Berkeley Software Distribution database] (also known as BSDDB) was the ''default database engine'' used by the [[Database_Formats#Gramps_2.0|2.0]] through the [[Database_Formats#Gramps_5.0|5.0]] versions of Gramps. The default changed to SQLite in the 5.1 version via the [[DB-API_Database_Backend|DB-API Database Backend]]. ([[Install_latest_BSDDB|Manual updates to the BSDDB engine]] for the 5.1.3 version may be advisable.)

;<span id="view">View</span>: ''([[Gramps_{{version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window|graphical user interface terminology]])'' - a '''[[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window|View]]''' is a Gramps-specific name for the display layouts presenting information in a structured and predictable manner. <br />Layouts are in table, outline or graphical formats; depending on the preferred way to represent how the data elements relate to on another. <br />Gramps divides and organizes the information about each [[#primary_object|Primary Object]] into a series of Categories, each with their own View. Each of the Category Views displays a smaller, more digestible portion of the total information that comprises a Genealogical Tree. The View categories are: {{icon|gram}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Dashboard_Category|Dashboard]], {{icon|peop}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People]], {{icon|rela}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Relationships_Category|Relationships]], {{icon|fami}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Families_Category|Families]], {{icon|ance}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Charts_Category|Charts]], {{icon|even}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Events_Category|Events]], {{icon|plac}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places]], {{icon|geog}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]], {{icon|sour34}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Sources_Category|Sources]], {{icon|cite}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Citations_Category|Citations]], {{icon|repo}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Repositories_Category|Repositories]], {{icon|medi}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Media_Category|Media]], {{icon|note}}&nbsp;[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Notes_Category|Notes]]<br />A Category View may have alternate modes (subcategories) of display layout. (e.g. Views with Table layouts might have flat listed or hierarchically grouped modes.) Each mode of a category can be independently [[File:Gramps-config.png|22px]]&nbsp;configured.<br />View data may be further subdivided with tabbed pages of layouts.

;<span id="xml">XML</span>: acronym: E'''x'''tensible '''M'''arkup '''L'''anguage. A schema used to define the expected structure of data in a text format. The system annotates a document in a way that data elements are syntactically distinguishable from identifying tags. A markup language defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a fault tolerant format that is both (marginally) human-readable and machine-readable. <br />Gramps will [[Generate_XML|generate XML]] format natively in compressed and uncompressed forms. It is the format that definitively supports every piece of genealogical data stored by Gramps.
